SCPA seen and heard around the world

Jan. 22, 2010

Cincinnati's School for Creative & Performing Arts is known to kids around the world, thanks to MTV's international audience for "Taking the Stage."

Young fans have e-mailed SCPA from Australia to Russia and from Ireland to Trinidad, says Dr. Isidore Rudnick, SCPA artistic director

"It's been incredible," Rudnick says. "Some of them have even asked if we have dormitories - and we do not."

During an online chat at Cincinnati.Com on Monday, SCPA grad and "Taking the Stage" cast member Mia Carruthers answered questions from fans in Germany, England, Finland, the Netherlands, Chile and Nicaragua, plus from across the U.S. Many wanted to know if she planned concerts in their area.
